Foxfinder is a play of suspense, a thriller, a story of power, zealotry and self-denial, that puts a sinister shadow on our very near future.  It is a study in power, in suppressed sexuality, in a fascist mindset manifested in a young boy sent on a mission to force compliance, deny feelings, and – to eradicate foxes, which we cannot see but which are everywhere.  Originally set in rural England, Kaplan has moved the action to the equally appropriate American farm country where at [read more]

After the Island – A Celebration of the Life of David Rowland

Trinitarian Congregational Church 147 Main Street, Northfield, MA, United States

A reading of After the Island, Silverthorne Theater Company Co-Founder David Rowland's full-length sequel to Shakespeare's The Tempest. In 2012, David Rowland penned an imaginative and thoughtful sequel to Shakespeare's famous last work The Tempest. In taking on the subject matter of one of the Bard's most philosophical plays, Rowland portrays the familiar cast as they have become an indeterminate number of years after Prospero and Miranda leave the Island to return to Milan and the less than magical world they found there. In the resonant rhythms of iambic pentameter, we meet an older Duke, Miranda and Fernando; Stephano and Trinculo reprise their drunken schemings; and Ariel returns to advise Prospero and set in motion re-connections and new beginnings.
